They have everything to do with who the government are. Who do you think funds the NHS?
Yep. Further proof we should just sink the whole island.
What is wrong with you?
Ukip are standing in Scottish seats 
I agree with that. The problems were already big under Ed.
Chelsea fan who isn't a Tory. He's clearly going through an identity crisis.
What is wrong with you for fecks sake? After you came out with that nonsense about buses, now you reckon the people controlling the NHS don’t have any influence over problems in the NHS. It’s fecking bizarre.
Yep. They need a major rethink and overhaul and everyone needs to come together.
Total pipe dream imo. As sad as that is. Hopefully I'm just being overly cynical.
Darlington- a win for the Conservatives
Darlington Tory..
Andy Burnham's old seat is a toss-up, per the exit poll.
Living breathing proof of someone who has bought into the bullshit, now trying to regurgitate it and confusing himself and the rest of us.
Labour still winning atm 
A fecking disaster
I think its because my mentality is that we currently live in a utopia... for people a hundred years ago, and the main reason for that was the desire for change and continual progression. we are currently stuck perpetuating a system that isn't going to get any better and if the labour party doesn't present a credible genuine left wing option then this is it, and it isn't good enough for the majority of people as in the standard of living for a vast chunk of the electorate is getting worse and the gap in inequality is only going to continue to widen.
To this end im not going to give up my ideological beliefs that i hold dear, to advocate for the vulnerable and those in a deterministic environments with no adequate hope for a better life, from my position of relative prosperity, because if i do and others do then my future kids wont live in a better world.
very consistent theme emerging:
Labour losing votes in every Leave majority constituency. Even when those where Labour seats with prior decent majorities.
Even when Labour retain a seat, it's with a reduced majority.
Conclusion has to be that UK wants Brexit. There can be no doubt of that.
Cummings market research and finger on the pulse of the nation was spot on. UK electorate will allow BJ as much latitude and scope as it requires to 'Get Brexit Done'. Thats why they were so belligerent with things like proroguing parliament, being abusive to opposition and all BJ's other character defects. It's equally damning that Corbyn and his Momentum groupies didn't understand this.
In the end, it seems as though the Tory Toffs were representing the peoples wish, while the Labour elites where stuck in the Highgate Islington bubble.
As an American to my UK brothers. We shall die together!
feck me the BBC has got Arron Banks on now. What is wrong with this organisation?
Arron Banks and Heidi Allen are having a great barney on the BBC.
Heidi Allen’s got that Will’s Mum thing going on.
On the flip side, it's been run by Labour since 1950 so those slamming tweets meant to be damning for Cons is bad for Labour.
When’s the redcafe seat announced? Hearing rumours of Labour hold
Labour still winning atm
Huh?
Noticed that BXP vote share was far lower in the gaines tories got in Darlington and Workington....
Jo Swinson's too?
And Skinner?
Looks like Brexit party are going to get zero MPs but a decent (for them) % of votes. A lot of people annoyed at lack of progress re leave moving from Labour but only a small % going to Conservatives .. don't want to vote Labour but can't vote Conservative so voting Brexit as a protest vote despite knowing unlikely Brexit party will win a seat.
I never said that though. Go back and read my comment, try to digest it before reacting to it.
What's the score?
Jesus, never imagined a timeline where swathes of working class Labour towns fall to the most right-wing pro-austerity Tory party in decades, where the most left-wing iteration of Labour in our generation relies on the likes of Kensington as their consolation prize.
Brexit is a helluva drug

There's no hope anywhere in the world politically.
Swinson and Skinner are both likely gone, I think Leigh is a pure 50/50 right now.
Who's asking you to give up your beliefs?
This is the fundamental problem here and in the Labour party, too many of you are so stark in your views, there's no budge and no thought to how any of this magical change can come about. If you aren't behind Corbyn and even dare suggest there must be better, then you are a Red Tory.
It's myopic view and one that will continue to guarantee the Tories staying in power for a long time.
There's a famous quote by Einstein that's relevant here. It's madness to watch this tonight and not think for one second, what if we are wrong?
Ok, what are your problems with the NHS that politicians have nothing to do with?

Working class people are convinced that immigrants are responsible for all of their problems. It honestly isn't surprising what is happening.

For me Labour's policy on Brexit seemed to make the most sense, people would've had the chance to vote on the actual deal they had vs remain. I supposed "get brexit done" is a very simple soundbite and doesn't give people the impression that you're telling them they didn't know what they were voting for.
Where is the "BUT, if we look at the poll of poll of polls" guy?
